After watching half a dozen videos, yours was the first to explain the ARC channel feeds multiple HDMI signals to the sound bar. I almost bought an HDMI splitter for all my devices. Thank you. Great video.
Absolutely brilliant. I got the answer/solution I needed within 1:40 of this video (my unit was set to TV speaker instead of soundbar). My partner used to do all of this techy stuff for me & my family - he was a music producer before he died suddenly at the age of 30 the week of Christmas last year 2021, and now I feel totally lost without all of his help & support. He would've worked this out in 10 seconds probably, lol 😉 But thanks to the internet/youtube & to people like you, I was not left totally helpless. So thank you SO much for this! Many blessings to you. Stay safe & well everybody 🙏❤️
You are the first person I've found to successfully explain Arc and how it allows all devices connected to the TV flow audio to the soundbar. The owners manual of my yamaha yas 207 didn't even explain it fully. Thank you!
I’ve watched at least 5 videos regarding this subject and your video was by far the best. You were clear and to the point and I didn’t have to watch a 5 minute clip of you running with your dog. Thank you!!!
Just bought a sound system and could not figure out how to get it to connected. Went thru the ARC then CEC steps and BOOM! We’ve got beautiful sound. Thanks for putting out videos for newbies like me!
By far the MOST helpful video I have watched. Thank you for making this super easy to understand, for not adding all those distracting/annoying video edits TH-camrs do these days 😒 and thank you for making the color coded diagram explaining the difference between only using the TV HDMI ports vs. using the Soundbar HDMI ports (if available) when plugging in all your extra devices. I have been wondering why I have such a wide range in the quality of the audio that comes through my soundbar, and I think it’s because I am using every HDMI port on my TV (and even swapping devices). I am going to plug some straight into the Soundbar now so they don’t get further compressed 😊 Seriously, you’re a lifesaver! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
At 2:05 i first realized that video source can go to soundbar hdmi port!! And that solved it for me, thanks! And then video travels from soundbar to tv. I just missed this whole concept in the very beginning.
I spent all day trying to get my soundbar and Appletv to work together and after the first few seconds you solved my problem! Wish I’d discovered your video much earlier today!!!
1. I am 75 years old and continuously learning "high technology". 2. I am installing a sound bar today. 3. You are very clear. I suggest you take this video and submit a. the morons who are not native English speakers who write installation manuals for PRC manufacturers; b. big conglomerates like Spectrum who really should do videos of their products. Yesterday, I received a new Spectrum t.v. controller. The girlfriend is high tech who has the latest iPhone, Apple computer and reports that the new controller is complicated and the field engineer for Sprectrum says that same thing.
Bought a Samsung Q80r soundbar back in June '20, could not for the life of me get Disney+ to play in Atmos, no matter what I tried . This morning (28/01) after 5 minutes of watching this video The Mandalorian has never sounded so good, so good in fact I'm starting the whole season again. Thank you.
I read that connecting your devices first to the soundbar and then the soundbar to TV ARC HDMI will also prevent the "lip sync" issue. Article explains that sound processing by TV is not as fast as video processing and as such delivers sound with latency. I actually like this option you described (devices --> soundbar --> TV) and also the fact that it clears the way for the other higher-end digital output like Atmos. Thanks for the clear and concise explanation!
Thank you! Even I understood how it worked, removed my old samsung sound bar because my husband never used it however I wanted to see if it could work on my laptop which has poor sound coming out of cheap little speakers. Can't wait to try it. PS I'm 80 years young...
I swear I've been through 10 separate videos on this topic and none gave the answer. Now after watching this video my soundboard is kicking better than before. I had my (cambridge) speaker connected, and it worked, but the default speaker was still the TV, because the cable didn't support it. After watching this, it's now the no1 speaker on out Samsung TV. Thanks a lot 👍
I so sorry about your partner pass at such a young age. Thank you for the video it was very informative ! Helped me out connecting my Sony sound bar. ✌🙏
THANK YOU man I never comment on anyone’s videos lol but bruh I’ve been fighting my damn sound bar for over an hour, then I come across your video and boom fixed in literally 15 seconds 😂😂✊🏽✊🏽
I have a sound bar that's just been sitting here for a little over a year because nobody can figure out how to hook it up! I have a Haier Roku Smart tv and a iLive HD Sound bar with Bluetooth wireless. It has the red and white Aux In plug ins, and then another Line In plug in on the end where your Source/power/volume and Pair buttons are. I'm figuring that's for an optical cable because I've used that too and never got it to work and the store REFUSES to take it back. 🤬 Your videos are very helpful. I'm really hoping you can help me with this so I can actually hear this tv! Thanks!
Thank you very much - this was extremely helpful - straight to the point. I'm all set with how to connect the new sound bar! Again, thank you very very much!
Excellent video man! I am getting my first soundbar, I had a very old Sony HT system and don't want a whole bunch of speakers and wires anymore and this explains thoroughly what I need before I make my purchase.
Thanks. Now I understand the concept, and my question was finally answered. I didn't know how the non-ARC HDMI input ports would work with a soundbar. Now you answered that question for me.
I have the old zvox SB8380 soundbar the long one that has this ⚪️🔴 👈🏾behind it there's no HDMI behind it iam buying a charger for it as well behind the soundbar its saying right 🔴 left ⚪️ Analog input and it's saying Oprical 1 Digital input 2 and power how can I hook this up to my ROKU TV and please explain to me what I need to do brother its my very first time 👍🏾💯🏆 Thanks
How can I get the sound to come from the soundbar only... and not both TV and soundbar simultaneously? This is all new to me as I try and get a louder sound for my 87 year old mom...🤗 Thank you so much for the video... and hopefully, reply to my question...😊

I bought a splitter and have had no end of trouble getting good connections.
Same here!

Glad I could help!
@@JonahMatthes i did not understand why should i connect my ps5 to soundbar?? when i have tv.

I was about to return my soundbar to the store and then found this video and boom! It worked! Thank you :)
My dad hates trying to do audio, I showed he your video and he watched it twice and off he went. Very clear and easy to follow. Thanks so much!!
I spent an hour trying to connect but I found your video and completed it one second thank you
I loved how detailed and clear you were, thanks man🙌🏼

I am in the process of setting up my Nakamichi 9.2.4 system on my new 86 inch LG TV and your explanation was what I needed to hear.
No one needs to hear exactly what type of soundbar and TV you have. Unless it made you feel good, then it's fiiiiiiiiine....
1. I am 75 years old and continuously learning "high technology".
2. I am installing a sound bar today.

Very informative and helpful thanks
Very clear
How can I get the sound to come from the soundbar only... and not both TV and soundbar simultaneously?
This is all new to me as I try and get a louder sound for my 87 year old mom...🤗
Thank you so much for the video... and hopefully, reply to my question...😊
THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO.
Now I know the use of ARC
Brilliant video man you rock!!!!!!!! Definitely answered some of the things i wanted to know... cheers!!
Liked the hair doo change mid-vid! Do tell, are you a magician on the side?
Shhh. I don't think anyone noticed.
You never said how to do the Bluetooth option great service
Thanks for the help!
Tip for anyone who has a 2 channel soundbar and your TV doesn't have HDMI ARC. Use RCA. It'll give you better bass than optical.
Now i know why my soundbar doesn't work at hdmi. It's because only support 5.1 channel. But my soundbar is only 2.1 channel. Thanks!
The best video it helped so much
